For a wholesome diet without grains, there’s nothing better than BLUE Freedom. Free of the grains that contain gluten, this large breed recipe starts with high-quality deboned chicken and is formulated with glucosamine and chondroitin to support joint health in bigger dogs.
BLUE's exclusive LifeSource Bits are a precise blend of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals carefully selected by veterinarians and animal nutritionists that help support:
And LifeSource Bits are cold-formed to help retain the potency of their ingredients. This means that they minimize the amount of heat that LifeSource Bits are exposed to during the manufacturing process. It’s the same concept as when you cook vegetables at high heat — the longer you do, the more heat-sensitive nutrients are lost.
